    Abstract Massive sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 genomes has urged novel methods that employ existing phylogenies to add new samples efficiently instead of de novo inference. 'TIPars' was developed for such challenge integrating parsimony analysis with pre-computed ancestral sequences. It took about 21 seconds to insert 100 SARS-CoV-2 genomes into a 100k-taxa reference tree using 1.4 gigabytes. Benchmarking on four datasets, TIPars achieved the highest accuracy for phylogenies of moderately similar sequences. For highly similar and divergent scenarios, fully parsimony-based and likelihood-based phylogenetic placement methods performed the best respectively while TIPars was the second best. TIPars accomplished efficient and accurate expansion of phylogenies of both similar and divergent sequences, which would have broad biological applications beyond SARS-CoV-2. TIPars is accessible from https://tipars.hku.hk/ and source codes are available at https://github.com/id-bioinfo/TIPars.

    Abstract Importance: Viral host adaptation plays an important role in inter-species transmission of coronaviruses and influenza viruses. Multiple human-adaptive mutations have been identified in influenza viruses but not so far in MERS-CoV that circulates widely in dromedary camels in the Arabian Peninsula leading to zoonotic transmission. Here, we analyzed clade B MERS-CoV sequences and identified an amino acid substitution L232F in nsp6 that repeatedly occurs in human MERS-CoV. Using a loss-of-function reverse genetics approach, we found the nsp6 L232F conferred increased viral replication competence

    Abstract We report surveillance conducted in 217 pestiferous rodents in Hong Kong for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We did not detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA but identified 1 seropositive rodent, suggesting exposure to a virus antigenically similar to SARS-CoV-2. Potential exposure of urban rodents to SARS-CoV-2 cannot be ruled out.
